KUALA LUMPUR: Norway considers Malaysia a worthwhile place to invest, Crown Prince Haakon Magnus said.
He added that the business sector was the key element for his three-day visit to Malaysia with Crown Princess Mette-Marit.
“The sizeable business delegation accompanying me on this official visit is substantial evidence that the Malaysian markets are interesting for Norway, and that our countries have mutual interest in strengthening our business relations,” Prince Haakon said at the Malaysian-Norwegian Forum of Competence yesterday.
The royal couple is accompanied by a 45-member delegation, including Trade and Industry Minister Trond Giske, Deputy Foreign Minister Erik Lahnstein, Deputy Fisheries and Coastal Affairs Minister Vidar Ulriksen as well as Deputy Petroleum and Energy Minister Robin Martin Kass.
Among the mutual industries involving the two countries are oil and gas, aquaculture, cooking, defence and security, forestry, environment, as well as construction of tunnels and roads.
